Propylhexedrine
Propylhexedrine is a sympathomimetic amine and alpha-adrenergic agonist structurally related to methamphetamine that acts as a potent vasoconstrictor of nasal mucosa blood vessels, reducing congestion and improving airflow through the nasal passages. It is available as an over-the-counter nasal decongestant inhaler, though it has abuse potential due to its CNS stimulant properties.
